WORKLOAD ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF LABOR INSOAP PRODUCTION USING THE FULL TIME EQUIVALENTMETHOD: A CASE STUDY OF PT. XY

Abstract

PT. XY is a manufacturing company in Surabaya that produces household hygienic
goods, such as soap bars and liquid soap. It is known that the actual condition of
production in the company is still not optimal due to the uneven workload at each
work station. This also results in workers experiencing excessive workloads that
cause fatigue or illness, and there are more unemployed, causing decreased
performance. According to the problems above, this research was conducted to
determine the value of the workload received and to find out the optimal number of
workers so that in the future work can be more effective and efficient. Solving
workload analysis problems in this study using the Full Time Equivalent method.
Based on the results of the study, it was known that the workload of the bar soap
production section was 16 people, 3 people were found in the Normal category and
13 people experienced the workload in the Overload category. While the results of
the workload of the liquid soap production section were 19 people, 6 people were
found in the Normal category and 13 people experienced a workload in the
Underload category. For calculating the optimal number of workers, the results
obtained for the production of bar soap need to add 7 people to the workforce and
liquid soap production to reduce the workforce by 3 people.
